Will Not Let You Take Advantage
When Jean considered this possibility, his brows furrowed. “So, what you’re saying is…?”
Gale spoke earnestly. “So… I have a favor to ask. I hope you can lend some manpower to the
authorities.”
He knew that each person by Jean’s side was a master of unparalleled combat prowess, and he was
also aware of Jean’s identity as Lord of Phison.
That status was by no means inferior to Gale’s royal title.
That was also why, despite their closeness, he always maintained such a respectful demeanor.
In a certain sense, his status might not even compare to Jean’s.
In response to his request, Jean did not immediately respond. His expression was neutral, revealing
no emotion.
Aware that he had reservations, Gale sighed and told him explicitly.
“If I could, I wouldn’t want to cause you any trouble. But as you know, the officials are no match for
those black market folks. They simply can’t handle it. If we force them to carry out the mission, not only
will there be casualties, but it could also alert the enemy. By then, the black market will only become
more difficult to deal with, and that’s a result we don’t want to see.”
At this point, William also spoke up, earnestly asking for Jean’s help. “Jean, over the years, there have
been numerous disappearances within the borders of Essley. Despite the government’s best efforts to
investigate, they’ve been unable to locate these missing individuals. I fear it’s the work of organizations
like the black market… Moreover, upon further thought, the black market’s ability to monopolize like this
probably involves some official backing. If we can’t completely eradicate these accomplices, it will
definitely lead to endless troubles in the future. This poses a huge hidden threat. to Gale’s future
ascension to the throne.”
Faced with the earnest words of the two, Jean fell silent for a moment before he spoke in a soft voice.
“Sure, I can lend my men to you. But there’s something you should understand. I can’t just give such a
huge advantage to Essley for nothing.”
If indeed there were officials involved, it meant that this person’s background was certainly not
insignificant.
The other party’s status might be on par with Gale. There was even a possibility that it could be higher
than Gale’s!
Hence, Jean had no desire to get involved in the internal political struggles of Essiey.
Gale understood his thoughts and immediately assured him.
“Rest assured, the people you lend me will be placed under my command. They will act in my name,
and not a single detail about you will be revealed.”
William chimed in, “As long as we can take down the stronghold of the black market in Essley, your
people will surely return to you unharmed. You know His Highness wouldn’t ask you for this if he didn’t
have any other options. Besides, if you want to deal with the Jones family, you can’t bypass the black
market in Essley. This move will also benefit you…”

market in Essley. This move will also benefit you…”
After a moment of contemplation, Jean actually agreed.
“All right, we’ll do it your way.”
Upon hearing this, Gale was overjoyed. “Jean, thank you! With your help, we will definitely achieve
twice the results with half the effort!”
“There’s no need for thanks, but this matter isn’t as simple as it seems. We need to plan carefully
before taking any action. I’ll have my man contact you directly. He’s someone I trust, and you can trust
him too. If there’s any situation, you can also relay it to me through him.”
Gale laughed. “Of course I trust your people. So, it’s settled then.”
Once the matter was settled, it didn’t take long for Gale and William to head back home.
Ian personally escorted them to the car, then returned to Jean’s office.
He brewed a fresh cup of coffee for Jean. After setting it down, however, he hesitated and didn’t leave.
Jean took a sip, looking at Ian over the rim of the cup.
“Speak your mind.”
Seeing that his employer had spoken, Ian couldn’t help but voice his own concerns.
“Mr. Beauvort, aren’t you worried Prince Gale will become wary of you if we reveal our manpower?”
After all, Nightshade was a Bartitsu expert from Phison and was under Jean’s command.
Thus, Ian couldn’t help but wonder what Gale, who held a high position, would think if he were to
witness such formidable strength from Jean.
Jean calmly set down his cup, not even batting an eyelid as he casually said, “No, because he’s a
smart man.”
He was certain Gale had a clear idea of who to consider as an enemy and who to regard as a friend.
